EAH Housing, the developer behind the project, intends to replace an auto body shop at 843-849 N. La Brea Avenue with a five-story building that would feature 49 studio apartments for low-income households and one manager's unit. Plans also call for a gym, a community room, a laundry facility, a central courtyard, and five at-grade parking stalls.

The building, designed by FSY Architects, will consist of four levels of wood-frame construction over a one-story concrete base. Elevations show that the apartments would be clad in a mix of stucco and perforated metal panels.
